Earley footbridge. Pic by Martin Mills RESIDENTS have made complaints to authorities over the crumbling condition of the footbridge by Earley train station. The footbridge at Earley train station, joining Station Road to Nightingale Road, Woodley, has been the subject of concern recently, with residents fearing the deterioration of the walkway. One resident claimed: The foot bridge over the railway at Earley station is crumbling, with large chunks of rust about to fall off. These are directly over the track, which presents a risk to trains.
